.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cdb-assign
.I cdb
.RI [ input ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Constructs a CDB file (see
.BR cdbmake (1),

files (or stdin if there are none).

Comments and blank lines in the inputs are ignored; other lines must
have the form

a convenient tool for building simple CBD files, rather than
comprehensive one.
